Tom Cruise is trying to put a bandage on his failing movie career by being funny. Not couch-jumping-he-is-out-of-his-freakin’-mind funny, but actually comedy. After his cameo in the summer blockbuster Tropic Thunder, it‘s rumored that Tom will next being something a little more family friendly.

Tom Cruise is being considered to voice one of the villains in Shrek Goes Fourth. The sequel is due out in 2010 and this time it’s being directed by Mike Mitchell, who is rumored to be something of a Tom Cruise fan. He also has a history of working with high-profile Scientologists. In 2005 he directed Kelly Preston in Sky High.

Not much is known about Shrek Goes Fourth, other than it’s supposed to explain where Shrek came from and how he got to his beloved swamp. Hopefully Tom’s involvement in this movie is not a Scientology plot to reach our kids early.
